Qualifying bet

Please see my ‘Qualifying Bets Guide‘ if you’d like more information about them and how they work.

Outcomes

Let’s look at your profit/loss for the possible outcomes.

OutcomeLiveScore BetBetfairFree BetProfit/Loss
Trillium wins+ £22.50– £23.22£0.72 loss
Trillium finishes
2nd or 3rd
– £10.00+ £9.29+ £8.00£7.29 profit
Any other outcome– £10.00+ £9.29£0.71 loss

So, you’ll make a nice profit of £7.29 if Trillium finishes 2nd or 3rd. Any other outcome, and you’ll lose a maximum of £0.72. Risking £0.72 to make a potential profit of £7.29 gives you effective odds of 11.13, which I’m sure you’ll agree, makes this a profitable offer in the long run.

If eligible, your free bet will be credited within 24 hours of your qualifying bet being settled and valid for 7 days. The free bet stake will not be returned with any winnings.

Please see my ‘Free Bets Guide‘ if you’re unsure how to convert your £10.00 free bet into £8.00 cash (80%).

* Trillium finished 8th, resulting in a £0.71 loss on this LiveScore Bet offer. *
